Can be hard to find anywhere.
Re: e21 OEM recaros in black cloth?
I only ask because i put a pair of them on ebay with a starting bid of $250 and the bidding has gone crazy.

Tho the highest bidder could turn out to be a time waster yet.
It would be nice if they actually sold for that amount but I'm dubious about it.

They are rare - normally found in Motorsport and JPS versions, not many others. Not often found in good condition with E21 runners as well. Good luck with the sale. They are a great addition to any E21.

Defo rare, especially in good condition, guess there will be a serious buyer left over in the end that'll pay a good price

AFAIK these are the early ones, later versions have the pull out leg support. The latter were also available in this cloth pattern but even though I like those better, these are more rare.

All original e21 recaros have the pull out leg support.

Re: e21 OEM recaros in black cloth?
So these are from? Is this the E21 cloth pattern or something that looks quite similar?

Re: e21 OEM recaros in black cloth?
these are from opel manta's, ascona's kadett etc. I also think some Ford
I took the corner at high speed, came in the ditch, drove straight through a garden, flipped over 4 times and then I lost control of my steering-wheel!
Re: e21 OEM recaros in black cloth?
These are the seats that came to Australia in Motorsport and JPS versions. They are original - I had a set in a motorsport and they are the same as all JPS versions I have seen in Oz! The runners are the ones supplied with e21s are were found in 81/82 examples.
